What does "vaguely European" even mean?
That's how I'd describe Tommy Wiseau or John Waters lol
Gillian Anderson in her later career also.
I would have never thought about it, but somehow you're exactly right.
Haha, I have no idea. Possibly less corporate, more "small, simple, open system that others can contribute to".
I can only speak in vagueness on the "european-ness", to be honest.
HASS/Zigbee have an open, european feel to me.
HomeSeer has a very american "this is the way we're doing it, it costs this much" feel.
My mind went to IKEA-like with a funny name and modern styling.
But I have no idea if that's what the author meant.
I had the same thought. Is it an insult?
I don't think so.
I think it just means they seemed like standards which were more prevalent in Europe, meaning support might be better for Euro hardware, or that the (presumably) American market was leaning in a different direction.
